Nick Chubb Injury: Season-Ending Knee Injury Shakes the Browns
Nick Chubb, the star running back for the Cleveland Browns, will miss the rest of the NFL season due to a severe injury.
Here are the latest updates on this devastating setback:
Nick Chubb Injury Due to Minkah Fitzpatrick’s Hit
During Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chubb’s hopes were crushed when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second quarter. A hit from safety Minkah Fitzpatrick left him writhing in pain on the ground.
Browns’ coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Tuesday that the Nick Chubb injury is indeed season-ending, but he didn’t disclose specific details of the diagnosis. Chubb was rushed to a local hospital but later returned to Cleveland after receiving medical attention.
Browns’ Backup Plan for Nick Chubb Injury
With Chubb sidelined, Jerome Ford steps into the lead running back role. Ford showcased his potential and upped NFL player stats with an outstanding performance, amassing 106 rushing yards, including a remarkable 69-yard run, and contributing in the passing game. Coach Stefanski emphasized that no one can replace Chubb’s caliber, but the team will collectively step up.
Additionally, the Cleveland Browns welcomed Kareem Hunt on Tuesday, who previously played as a complementary back alongside Chubb.
Same-Knee History
This devastating football injury brings back memories of Chubb’s college days at the University of Georgia when he suffered a dislocated knee, three torn ligaments, and cartilage damage in 2015, on that same knee where he sustained Monday night’s injury. Miraculously, he bounced back, achieving impressive statistics and becoming an NFL second-round pick in 2018.
The NFL world now watches closely as the Browns adapt to this challenging situation. Stay in the loop with Point Spreads. Always in the know!
